Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
William M. Chamness vs. State of Missouri
William Chamness appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel due to trial counsel's failure to strike a purportedly biased juror. The motion court denied the relief after an evidentiary hearing. On appeal, the Western District affirmed, holding that Chamness's appellate claim materially differed from the claim presented in his pro se motion, thereby waiving it for appellate review.
